FERGUSON CANIROUX, Sec. GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, Waterleo-place, Pall-mall, and 2, Charlotte-row, Mansion house, London. This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the 14 ,,,;'t perfect security, from an ample capital , and only re q uires, "eu an Insurance is for the whole period of life, one half of the Mate moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the a te of the Policy, the other half may remain, subject to the pay ment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted at, death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes I "t 8 Y for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this ar -I.2.flgement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, be ' , nay relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Com- Panics. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of */. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, secure to his widow and chil dren at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to The deduction of 144/. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium un paid, This Company holds out, in various other respects, great Inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a for tune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.

In offering these Forms to the notice of the Public, Messrs. Mordan and Co. are desirous of pointing out their utility, as a source both of instruction and amusement. To the younger members of the community they afford an un limited field for the exercise of taste in the disposition and arrange ment of colours, and of judgment in the combination of regular and discretionary figures. By a judicious employment of the various shades of colour the perspective of Solid Geometrical Figures may be produced, and thus an outline of the Science of Solid Geome try be insensibly acquired. Instruction will thus go hand in hand with amusement. As an inexhaustible source of brilliant ornament, they are ap plicable to the decoration of Albums, Screens, Workhouses, Card cases, and the other productions of Female taste and leisure. In many of the Arts, as in that of Printing, whether en Calico, Silk, Wood, Paper, Leather, or Metals, their importance is great; offering a ready and prolific source of Design.

UNDER the PATRONAGE of HER MAJESTY the QUEEN of HANOVER, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS the DUKE of SUSSEX, HER GRACBthe DUCHESS a RICHMOND, &c. R. E. SOLOMONS, OPTICIAN to the Royal Eye Infirmary, patentee of tke Amber Spectacles, &e., 38, OLD BOND-STREET (nearly opposite the western Exchange), whose recently invented and highly approved SPEC TACLES may be adapted to . the various circumstances of indivi dual cases appertaining to defective vision. Whilst these Specta cles excel all others, as regards their very superior refractive pro perty , and their comparative lightness, they possess the further ad vantage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at the same time, is transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as render vision most perfectly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool ness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional equally impor tant recommendation of being FREE from the pernicious attributes of common glasses ; in short, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec tacles admirably adapt them to afford ease and comfort, by protect ing and strengthening the eyes, and to extend to vision the most decided and instantaneous relief that art can accomplish. Their superior efficacy is attested by the following eminent professors, who (among many others) have given them their unqualified approba tion : F.

The object of the Bill is to enable the lessee of certain lands, called the Notting Hill Farm, iit the parish of Kensington, in the county of Middlesex, to cause a footway, intersecting those lands, to be diverted. The Act is to be put in execution by three Justices of the Peace for the county, or such one or more of them as shall act. The Justices are to view the premises, and, if it shall appear to them that the footway may be diverted, E 0 as to afford means of access to the places to which the same now leads, " equally convenient, or as nearly so as the wants of the public may seem to require," and at the same time avoid the present incon venience, then the Justices are to order the footway "to be diverted or altered, in such a manner, and within such period as to them shall seem desirable." No diversion is to be made through other lands, without the previous consent, in writing, of the owner. An appeal is given to the Quarter Session from any deter mination of the justices. The appellants to give to the Jus tices notice of such appeal, " within fourteen days after such cause of complaint shall have arisen," and within four days after such notice, to enter into a recognizance in the sum of one hundred pounds, with two sufficient Securities.

The tolls collected under the two Acts (after defraying the expenses of the Acts), are to be applied, first, in paying in terest on monies borrowed under the Acts ; next, in paying e xpenses of erecting and maintaining the Pier and other works ; then the surplus, after deducting sixty pounds an nually, being the amount of toll collected before the passing of the first Act, is to be applied as follows :—One-fourth to o to make and k ee p up a s i n king fund of 4,000/. Th ree per Gfr'ent.

"My Lord—A communication had been made to me by a respectable merchant of the City of London, representing the inconvenience which has resulted to trade from the destruction of the Royal Exchange, and stating that, although temporary accommodation had been provided in the Guildhall, yet that the space is confined, and that the building is at an inconve nient distance from the offices of the majority of those who frequent the Exchange. " It was further suggested that the Court of the Excise Of fice would be a much more eligible site for the temporary ac commodation of merchants. I submitted the communication to Lord Melbourne, and having obtained the necessary information from the Excise department at the desire of Lord Melbourne, I have the ho nour of informing your Lordship that, if the temporary use of the interior Court of the Excise Office can diminish the incon venience to which the trade of London is now subject, the ne cessary orders shall be given to make the building available for the meetings of the merchants and traders. " I enclose a plan of the Excise Office, which will enable your Lordship to communicate with the parties interested, and to take their opinion on the subject of this letter. •' I have honour to be, " Your Lordship's very faithful humble taervant, " T. SPRING RICE." To the plan of the building was annexed the following note :—. EXCISE orrica. " Sir Francis—.l beg to state that the Court-yard of this office is LA feet long by 70 wide, and that a temporary shed of 120 feet in length, and 15 feet wide, might be erected with out any inconvenience to the business of this office. There are also two gateways, which form a covered space of 80 feet by 12 feet. " I am, Sir Francis, your obedient servant, " WILLIAM HERBERT, Surveyor of Buildings " To Sir F. H. Doyle, Bart."

This Lady, a few days since, sent Mr. Holloway a billet, couched in the most flattering terms, eulogising the virtues of his oint ment, and, at the same time, handing him a cheque for one hundred pounds on Coutts and Co., with this request, " That a few pots of the Universal Family Ointment might occa sionally be i.,tiven to poor persons who Lad not the means to pay fol , them. , • it is a remarkable fact, that in the Cleveland-street workhouse of the Strand Union during the last six weeks, and notwithstanding the great and unusual inclemency of the season, not a single death has occurred. This is the more remarkable as the average number of inmates has exceeded 330, the majority of' whom are very aged and infirm—that b e ing the establishment to which that class of paupers is as signed. LOR'S COURT, F. 17. LORD RIBBUESDALE. The first Lord Ribblesdale by his will gave several legacies and annuities charged on real estates. One of the annuitants was his gardener, who was also an attesting witness to the will, whereby this annuity failed ; but his Lordship subsequently made an unattested codicil referring to the annuity, and in creasing it. The second Lord Ribblesdale was executor to his father, and paid such of the legacies as becaine due, and all the annuities during his life. Ile died, leaving the present Lady John Russell, his s idow, and four infant children, one of whom was posthumous. By his will he confirmed the first Lord Ribblesdale's will, and gave Lady John Russell 2001. a year during her widohood, in addit;on to her jointure of 5001. a-year. He then noticed his marriage settlement, by which 6,000/. was provided for younger ail /Trim, and expressed his intention to increase the fortunes of his two daughters to 5 000/. a piece, which he followed up by giving each of them 2,000/. It PO happened by the birth of the posthumous child that the 6,000/. became divisible among three instead of two children. The present bill was tiled for ascertaining the rights of the parties, and securing the fortunes of the infants. The Master had reported that he could not distinguish the personal estate of the first Lord Ribbesdale from the estate of the second. The Court was of opinion that the codicil amounted to a distinct gift of the annuity to the gardincr ; and that the second Lord Ribblesdale had by his acts admitted assets of his father ; and as he had charged his real estates with pay ment of his debts, the claimants under his father's will were entitled to payment out of the estates; and also that the two infants named in the second Lord Ribblesdale's will were entitled to have their fortunes made up to 5,000/. a;-piece. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, FEB. 17. I3ARNES V. :WHITMORE AND OTHaRS. This was issue from the Court of Chancery to determine whether a certain exchequer bill for 1,000/. was in the order and disposition of a bankrupt named Partridge at the time of his bankruptcy. It was proved that the bill was the pro perty of the plaintiff, but it was in the possession of Partridge at the time of the bankruptcy. The questions were, whether it was absolutely in his order and disposition, and whether the Act of Bankruptcy on which the fiat was founded took place on the 9th or 14th of September. The Jury being of opinion that the Act of Bankruptcy was not committed till the 14th found a verdict from the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. On Saturday, Samuel Evans, better known as. " Young Dutch Sam," a pugilist, was brought before IVir. Conant, charged Kith having committed an unprovok-A and violent assault on poli ceman M ac k enzie, C, 182, and Lord TValde grave was also charged with attempting to rescue Evans from the police. The defendant Evans, when sober, is civil and well-eon ducted ; but when drunk is one of tl}e most dangerous ruffians connected with the prize -fighting gang. Lord Waldegrave is a very young nobleman, with. a fund of native simplicity in his countenance, rendered I :.ie more conspicuous by the style of dress he has adopted—namely, a large coloured shawl round his neck, and a rough pilot coat. Both parties exhi bited unquestioir2 o l e proofs of the effect of their previous evening's potations. Policeman Alackenzie, who had his arm in a sling, made the following statement : About a quarter past six o'clock that morning, after he had come off duty, he went to the Standard public-house, in Pic cadilly, for the purpose of getting some refreshment; but on perceiving some of the Saloon frequenters there, to whom he was personally obnoxious, in consequence of having t-ken disorderly persons cf their acquaintance into custody he was about to go back, when he found himself suddenly pushed into the house with sufficient violence to cause his cape to fall off. While engaged in folding up his cape the defendant Evans said, " Will any gentleman like to see a po liceman put upon his back." Complainant had not ex changed a single word with any body ; he, however, found himself suddenly and quite unexpectedly seized by the defen. dant, who had conic behind him, and then thrown with vio lence upon the floor ; the defendant Evans fell upon him at the same time ; and, as complainant lay almost stunned and unable to rise, sonic persons called out " Shame !" Com plainant was helped up, and assisted out of the house. Ho went immediately to the station house, and mentioned what had occurred to Inspector Beresford, who instantly sent a sufficient force to take the offender into custody. Complainant went and pointed out Duch Sam to his comrades, and the de fendant was taken into custody. Lord Waldegrave, who was in the pugilist's company, declared the police should not take his friend, and he attempted to prevent the police from doing their duty. Complainant, feeling his shoulder pain him very much, went to the surgeon, and, by that gentleman's advice, proceeded to the Charing-cross Hospital. When lie was ex amined it was ascertained that one of the bones of his shoulder was broken. Ancther policeman stated that Lord Waldegrave was very drunk, and when his Lordship attempted to resist the police he was accidentally thrown down on the pavement, and witness picked him up. Lord Waldegrave—He Ihel he ! Picked me up, did you? Oh—lle ! he ! he Mr. Conant—This is no laughing matter, I can tell you ; and it is quite improper in you to make it a subject of merri ment. Lord. Waldegrave—He I he! he I I beg pardon, but I can't help laughing. Mr. Cox ANT asked Evans what he bad to say in defence ? Evans—Why, you see, Lord Waldegrave and me had been supping together, hadn't we my Lord ? Lord Waldegrave—Yes we had. Evans—And when we went into the public-house there we saw the policeman, who was drunk, and who had been drink ing purl in the house. The policeman asked me to wrestle with him, and as I thought I could throw him, I accepted the challenge. The Inspector proved that there was not one word of truth in the defence of Evans, so far as regarded the sobriety of Mackenzie. The assault took place within a few minutes after Mackenzie had come off duty, and certainly before he could have had time to get refreshment. Thu policeman declared that what the defendant had as. serted was entirely false. He had taken nothing to drink ; and as for challenging a man like the defendant to wrestle, the assertion was improbable. Inspector Beresford, on being asked if he was certain that Evans was drunk, answered that the defendant was decidedly drunk. Evans—Silence, sweep, let a gentleman speak. I can get a dozen oaths for half-a-crown. Mr. CONANT said the assault cn the policeman was wanton and unprovoked, and the matter was further aggravated by the fact that a person of the defendant's well known pugi listic powers had chosen to attack an unoffending party. He should, therefore, call on the defendant Evans to put in good bail. Evans—Serve his Lordship the same, for I like to have such a pal. Mr. CONANT directed that Lord Waldegrave should be put back until a second magistrate arrived. Mr. DYER having soon afterwards taken his scat on the bench, Lord Waldegrave was placed before the bar. Policeman Pittner, C 130. went with others to the Stan dard public-house, and took Evans into custody. Lord Wal degrave threw his arm round his 'fiend, and swore he should not be taken. Witness swung his Lordship away, and in so doing his Lordship fell down. Witness picked up his Lordship, and would have let him go had his Lordship ab stained from repeating his conduct. As his Lordship would not allow the police to do their duty he took him into custody. Mr. CONANT asked his Lordship what he had to say? Lord Waldegrave-1 have nothing to say. Perhaps I had taken too much that night. Policeman—His Lordship was very drunk. Lord Waldegrave—Not very. Mr. CONANT—There has been no complaint of your con duct at the station-house, and I dare say your Lordship feels hurt at being in the company of a person of the other defen dant's description. Taking into consideration the violence of the outrage committed by Evans ns a warning, we must inflict a heavy fine. He must, therefore, piy 51. to the Queen. Mr. DYER—And because, in our summary jurisdiction, we cannot go beyond that sum, we inflict it as being the highest penalty within our power. The sum was paid, and the Noble Defendant discharged. Observer. 1301V-S7'REET. John Tucker was charged by Joseph Ostell, Inspector of Pavements for the parish of St. Martin's .in-the-Pields, with causing an obstruction in Long-acre, by standing on the footway pavement with a machine. selling potatoes all hot. The complainant repeatedly cautioned him not to remain, but he insisted that he had a right, 26 he had obtained leave from a householder, and he was given into custody, but assaulted the constable on his way to the station-house. Sir F. Rua told him he subjected himself to a penalty of 51. for each offence, for no person could grant him the privilege of causing an ob.. struction in the public thoroughfare; but as there was a possibility of his not knowing he was transgressing, he would tine hiu: 20s. fur the assault on the police-constable, or be sent to prison for 15 days.
